About this vendor
Kirstie and Sarah are a best friend photography duo that met all the way back in 5th grade! They can often communicate with just a simple look or hand gesture (which comes in very handy during wedding ceremonies!!) It's not uncommon to find them dying of laughter from their own jokes - and they're not sorry.
After working as freelancers for many different companies, they learned many do's and don'ts to get KayBee Photos where it is today. The chemistry of these two is unmatched and they strive to bring their clients the same joy they bring to each other.

There truly aren't enough works to describe how amazing Sarah from Kaybee Photos is. Sarah captured our wedding this past October and from start to finish, everything she did for o...
ur wedding was beyond amazing and absolutely beautiful.
She captured every moment so perfectly-both the big emotional moment and the quiet, meaningful ones in between. Her professionalism, creativity and calming presence made the entire day even more special. We will treasure these photos forever and I cannot recommend her or her team enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and their story. <3
Kaybee Photos was amazing to work with on our wedding day! They were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos are stunning and beautifully capture al...
l the special moments and emotions of the day. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Kaybee Photos to any couple looking for a talented wedding photographer.

ding day! Having the day captured in videos to look back on forever is something so special. Highly recommend!!
Sarah at Kaybee Photos was absolutely phenomenal. From our very first meeting, she was warm, personable, and made us feel completely at ease. We had her take our engagement photos,...
which turned out beautifully and completely solidified our decision to hire her as our wedding photographer.
Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly patient with the many emails I sent with questions. When an issue came up with our timeline, she immediately reached out, scheduled a late-night phone call, walked us through her suggestions and options, and completely calmed my nerves.
On our wedding day, Sarah was the perfect person to have by our side. She kept us as close to schedule as possible, and when we had to nix our outdoor sunset photos, she made sure we still got private sunset photos in the bridal suite as a beautiful alternative.
We received our photos within the timeline stated in the contract, and we were absolutely blown away. They are not only the most gorgeous wedding photos, but the most gorgeous photos I’ve ever received, period. We have definitely found our photographer for life and cannot wait to hire Sarah to capture more of our life’s moments. Highly, highly recommend Sarah and Kaybee Photos.
Sarah was a rockstar! Very professional and efficient. She really helped to make my special day enjoyable. Above and beyond expectations
If I were to redo my wedding I would hire kaybee photos time and time again. Not only are you guaranteed gorgeous photos but you’re also guaranteed a good time. You don’t realize h...
ow much time you spend with your photographer(s) on the day of your wedding but these girls really helped up stay in good spirits and literally had us belly laughing. You can tell they love what they do & that just makes everything more enjoyable.
I cannot say enough good things about KayBee photos. From our initial meeting, to our engagement photos, to our wedding day and even beyond, Kirstie and Sarah have provided us with...
nothing but the best. They have such a fun nature to them that you will immediately feel comfortable in front of the camera. They did an amazing job capturing our big day. They are such a talented duo that truly enjoys what they do while providing exceptional results & service. We used KayBee for photo, video and photo booth and all exceeded my expectations. We love our photos & videos. I even won a free canvas from one of their social media giveaways! I mean it when I say they are a must-book as your photographer! I would highly recommend KayBee photos to everyone and anyone. They value their clients, their work and they don't rip you off doing so.
Kirstie and Sarah are some of the most fun, kind, and lovely people! When we did our engagement photos with Kirstie, we knew we made the right choice. She made my husband and I so ...
comfortable and encouraged us to try new things.
Come wedding day, Kirstie was with me and Sarah was with the guys. The guys LOVED having Sarah around! I was definitely getting antsy and more irritable as the hours were approaching, and Kirstie gave me great pep talks and helped me calm down. After the ceremony was over, both ladies did a wonderful job listening to my husband and I, and they were great at gaging the mood and asking what we needed. We LOVE our photos! Thank you ladies for helping make our day so special and capturing once in a lifetime memories.
KayBee Photography is absolutely a must-book for your wedding!! It’s so apparent that Kirstie & Sarah love what they do. I was so nervous on my wedding day & Kirstie helped calm my...
nerves, Sarah kept my husband’s groomsmen from being complete goofballs, and they even edited one of our photos during dinner as a little sneak peek! They were so funny & brought such a chill energy to our ceremony & reception. Another aspect about KayBee that I loved was that they’re not afraid to take charge…we were racing the sunset so I came with a short list of must-have church photos & Kirstie & Sarah had a tag team effort to make sure everything was done smoothly & effortlessly, but with everyone knowing that this needed to be done quickly & efficiently. I know, without a doubt, that our final edits from our wedding will be nothing short of stunning & magical. I cannot say enough good things about KayBee Photography….book them for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!!
Kirstie and Sarah were phenomenal for both our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. Kirstie was very fun and professional during our engagement shoot and very quick to figure u...
s out and what poses to do. We met Sarah the day of our wedding and she came well prepared. They were extremely organized while taking photos which helped maximize the number of photos of different locations we could shoot. We’ve already recommended them to friends!
Cannot say enough good things about Kirstie, highly recommend! She was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process, very friendly, and appreciated her humor! We eloped in ...
Starved Rock and the photos were BEAUTIFUL. Not only did she take amazing pictures, but she hiked with us in the heat and made it enjoyable! We're both introverted and definitely felt awkward at times posing, but she did a great job directing us with what to do! Whether you're having a wedding or eloping, you won't regret choosing her! Will definitely use KayBee again in the future for family photos 💙
From the beginning planning stages to the night itself Kirstie and Sarah were absolutely incredible. They were able to help with planning the timeline of which photos to take and w...
here to take them. That was an enormous help. With all of the other planning and decisions that needed to be made their guidance was a gamechanger. Most notably though they were able to adapt when our day almost came to a crashing halt because of a terrible storm. With the help of their quick thinking we didn't miss a moment and managed to capture all of the phots we had set out to get and then some. We were also able to see that the photos were turning out great even though the room was only lit by candle light. It really was a night to remember and they did not back down in the face of the challenges that came their way. We highly recommend KayBee Photos
Sarah and Kirstie were the perfect fit for our big day! We knew that Sarah was perfect when we met her for our engagement photos and were so happy to have Kirstie join us on our bi...
g day. My husband and I are both pretty awkward with photos, but they helped us relax and have fun with all of our photos. The communication was great - every time I had a question come up, Sarah was so quick to respond and make me less nervous about the big day. I’m obsessed with our photos and highly recommend Kaybee Photos!
Highly recommend KayBee Photos. They photographed our vow renewal and provided a Photo Booth for the reception. The photos turned out so beautiful and they really captured all the ...
best moments day of. The Photo Booth was SO much fun. Thanks for making our special day so amazing!
If you want two people who are personable, make your day run smoothly, and help you along the way. Kirstie and Sarah are the people. We recommend them both to everyone. It’s truly ...
not “just another wedding” for them. They love what they do.

l for the beautiful photos she has given us forever and highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a wedding photographer!
Sarah and Kirstie photographed our wedding in 2019. And while my husband knew Sarah and Kirstie beforehand from college, the wedding was my first experience with Kaybee. All I can ...
say is that -they have been apart of our lives ever since, and always will be. I had hundreds of beyond perfect photos of our wedding and life events. Which speaks volumes because I am that extremely picky client. They truly start out as a vendor and quickly skip friendship to become apart of your family. I recommend them to any person who ever mentions needing a photographer, even if it’s someone I just met for the first time. From pets, family, baby, Christmas, just because and of course weddings- There is nothing that this team can’t capture the perfect image for. I will forever be a lifetime Kaybee client.
Sarah and Kirstie were phenomenal. They bring the energy and have your back through each step of your big day. i love them so much 10000% reccomend.
Myah
Can not say enough about Sarah and Kirstie! Best hype squad ever. Seen our sneak peek so far and pictures look beautiful! Everything we wanted and more with them.
Sarah and Kirstie are amazing! They helped us keep everything on track and directed us for the best photos so I didn’t have to think too much about what shots to get.
All of our g...
uests were so complimentary of their professionalism and kindness. I couldn’t have been happier to have them at our event.
Sarah also took our engagement photos, which were also amazing. We’ll be using KayBee for all our milestone photos!
Having Kirstie and Sarah as my wedding photographers was a dream come true! I not only wanted beautiful photos to look back on, but I wanted them to capture the emotions and person...
alities from our wedding day. KayBee did just that and more. Both girls were amazing. They were friendly, calming, organized and so helpful. They listened to the vision I had for my day, from specific poses to certain vibes I wanted captured. They were also great at dealing with me as a type A bride :). I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone.
We used KayBee Photos for our engagement photos and our wedding and I couldn’t recommend them enough! I coordinated with Kirstie the most and she was always so helpful and quick wi...
th responses. She made the engagement session seamless and I couldn’t have had my wedding day without her. She kept us on track with timing and Sarah was great with our wedding party as well, even with a broken foot. They kept it fun in a very professional way. These girls know what they’re doing!! I love all my photos, I cannot pick a favorite! Book now!! Don’t wait!!
From the minute I reached out with initial inquires Kirstie had everything covered. In the initial consultation she had sample timelines and suggestions to help our day go as smoot...
hly as possible and she spent time walking me through the samples based on my party size and events throughout the day. She and her team were so friendly, they made this very nervous photo hating bride feel completely at ease and calm. They went above and beyond to get the most beautiful shots, including scaling a fireplace to hang my dress. I did not luck out with many of my vendors, but KayBee Photos was the absolute standout. They are professional and efficient with communication and keep you posted so you are never left wondering what needs to be done or where things are at. I will recommend their team to everyone and anyone who will listen from now until the end of time. I no longer live in the Chicagoland area but will be making the trip for any future family photo needs. They will be my first-choice hands down for any future events. I could gush about them all day. Their package vs. price was also one of the best offers in the area, you get beyond what you pay for with KayBee Photos. 100/ 10 would beyond recommend.
My husband and I got married September 29, 2023. We used Kaybee for videography services and we have zero regrets. I communicated with Sarah throughout the entire process and she w...
as such a joy to work with! Sarah always made time to answer any questions I had and made me feel comfortable moving word. Compared to other videographers in the area, Kaybee’s prices were extremely reasonable. The quality, customer service and footage we received were truly five stars. We received all wedding footage, a teaser video and a feature film. On our wedding day, the videographer captured some amazing footage. The amazing part is when I look back on the day, I don’t even remember seeing him around. The videographer was that amazing where he didn’t interfere with any part of the day. He simply went with the flow ended up capturing the most amazing memories. I was so impressed with Kaybee’s service that I ended up booking a 30 min session with Sarah to capture my husband and I with our two dogs. Sarah was wonderful to work with yet again. She was so patient with us and our dogs. She definitely had ways to capture the dog’s attention and has a demeanor to her that is so calm and easy-going. She made us feel relaxed and we received so many photos for a 30 minute session, which was the perfect amount of time to do a photoshoot with our dogs. I highly recommend using Kaybee for both videography and photography needs. I plan to use them in the future again!
KayBee put my mind at ease throughout the entire process, and was especially flexible when there was a makeup mishap on the wedding day that set us behind schedule. An absolute del...
ight to work with this high-energy, friendly team; I cannot recommend KayBee enough!!
Words cannot even describe how incredible it was to work with Kirstie and Sarah. They were in constant communication, made sure all of my requested pictures were done, dealt with o...
ur large families and making sure we had great family pics, and helped us stay calm when our bus got lost and we were late for pictures. We had so many laughs that it made anything that went “wrong” seem like nothing. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future for family pics!
The best decision I ever made for my wedding was choosing KayBee photography to photograph! ❤️ Not only was Kirstie a joy to work with, her work is incredible! I 100% recommend get...
ting engagement photos with them as well so they could get to know you and your partner. The engagement photos were a trial run with Kirstie before the wedding, and we had a chance to get comfortable with her! On the day of the wedding, Kirstie and Amanda both shot! Kirstie was so kind, accommodating, and encouraging— especially in moments of stress or when things weren’t going as planned. She made sure to help me feel calm and was just so caring and also really funny! Not only is the person you are working with on the most important day of your life is amazing, the work she produces is outstanding! The photos are perfect! We are so grateful for KayBee photography and how they captured our day! 😊
Sarah was very accommodating and nice. My photos were ready within a few weeks which was amazing

th my all my questions. On my actually wedding day they kept us laughing and took beautiful photos. I recently just received my photo album and couldn’t help from crying looking at all the photos. They truly captured the love that my husband and I have for each other!
Literally the best. If you’re in the fence, hop off, and book them.
Pricing- incredibly reasonable for the area!
Quality- outstanding! The photos are beautiful and they take the ...
time to make it unique to the couple, it isn’t just a list of pictures to take.
Experience- 10/10 they are so fun to work with! They blended with our group, and got some amazing captures. They made taking pictures fun, and it honestly flew by!
Everyone who worked with them at our wedding has since booked them. I can’t recommend enough!
Kirstie and Sarah were nothing short of amazing. Kirstie was the only photographer that came prepared to our initial meeting with all the wedding packages, options, timelines and p...
ricing. She was the only photographer that asked about my husband and me and got to know us. She used that knowledge from the initial meeting, and matched it with our personalities at our engagement session to provide the best photos at our wedding. They both toughed out the cold and snow to make our ideas a reality, and were so easy to be around. You spend more time with your photographers the day of the wedding than any other vendor, and they both fit in like they've known us for years. We were also able to book our viedographer and photo booth through KayBee. The photo booth was a hit, and the videos could not have been better. Everything came back to us faster than promised. Every dime spent was well worth it! Highly recommend!
Hands down the best photos I have ever seen and the best people to work with! Dying over just our preview photos can’t wait to see the finished work 😍

omfortable she made us feel and how efficient she was. We just got our photos and we love all the ways she helped us pose. We felt heard when we asked for certain photos and also supported when she provided us suggestions. She also helped us organize our first look, and the pictures perfectly captured all the feels. Thank you for providing us with long last memories. I highly recommend KayBee photos for any occasion! :)
Sarah and Kirstie from KayBee photographed our Chicago wedding and were amazing every step of the way! The initial call was informative and conversational. I wasn’t sure where to b...
egin so I appreciated the suggested timeline that they provided. The day of the wedding, they were efficient and got lots of wonderful photos that we will cherish for years to come. We got our online album well within the window in the contract, I would say it was a fast turn around for wedding season! We are going to run out of wall space with all the “framers” we want to display!
We also booked our photo booth with KayBee. It was a hit! They have an assortment of props that kept people getting back in line for more.
To give you an idea of how personable they are, I had 2 guests ask me for their info so they could book them for their own photo needs.
Sarah and Kirstie were an absolute joy to work with! They made it fun and enjoyable and made everything easy on the day of. Any questions we had they answered quickly and helped wi...
th my wedding schedule to make everything go smoothly. I recommend taking their advice for the schedule because they know exactly what they are doing and got all the photos I wanted to do. I highly recommend them! Any photos I want in the future I will be going to them because they really are the best to work with!
Hands down KayBee Photos is great to work with! Back in July of 2019, Sarah took our engagement photos that turned out amazing. Having our wedding originally scheduled for 2020 and...
having to be rescheduled for 2021. KayBee Photos did an phenomenal job sticking with us and guiding us on our wedding day making it smooth and enjoyable. Sarah and Kirstie took our wedding photos that came back stunning and we couldn't be happier! Our experience with KayBee Photos was incomparable. Definitely recommend KayBee Photos!!
KayBee Photos has been amazing to work with from start to finish! Way back in 2019 when we did our engagement photos, to working with us through the pandemic, and finally through o...
ur wedding! On our wedding day Kirstie and Brenda worked effortlessly to make sure we got every photo that we wanted. They went above and beyond by literally running around the venue to find the perfect first look location. We also rented a photo booth through KayBee, which was a huge hit with all of our guests! The open concept photo booth allowed large groups so people can have a lot of fun with it. Kirstie and Brenda were a lot of fun to work with throughout the night! I would highly recommend KayBee Photos for any of your photography needs!
To say I am obsessed with KayBee doesn’t even fully explain how in love my family and I am with this company. When we were designing our wedding we started with photos and knew ins...
tantly after meeting them it was going to be KAYBEE - we centered the date of our wedding on their availability even.
From the consult to the wedding day every step working with Sarah and Kirstie was absolute magic. Their personalities and love for their work is contagious and just shines through their work. The photos were so easy to capture, every member of their team is so passionate and truly lovely to work with and their team went above and beyond by helping us through the day. They were both so understanding and remembered tiny details I mentioned in the consult on the day of our wedding. Sarah did so amazing with our sweet anxious pup hazel and captured photos that we will hold dear forever.
Our photos and video preview were beyond phenomenal capturing every tiny beautiful detail of the day. It felt like we were going through that day surrounded by dear friends and every moment felt so comfortable with so many poses ready to go. We laughed the whole day with the whole KAYBEE team and are already talking about the next time we can get photos done with them!
Kirstie, Mike, and Sarah were our saviors! We were so lucky that they were not booked for our wedding considering we reached out about 3 months before after having a lot of diffic...
ulties with the previous photography company we hired. Right from our zoom consultation I knew Kirstie was someone we had to hire. Our redo engagement shoot was night and day compared to our other one. Kirstie, Mike and Sarah made us all so comfortable. We were relaxed and laughing the entire day! It truly felt like additional friends were hanging out with us for the day. Their communication and love for this field are more than enough to hire this team, however, once you meet them you will realize quickly how much they will exceed your expectations with how great they are all! Cannot recommend them for your photography/videography needs!
We hired both Kirstie and Sarah for our wedding photography and Mike for our wedding videography this past May. Their team was awesome and the 3 of them work so well together despi...
te the crazy wind advisory we were under the day of our wedding. Kirstie and Sarah were very attentive to details and often referenced my pinterest board to ensure they got all the wedding shots I dreamed of! We even went out of our comfort zones and got the most epic wedding dress photo I'm so in love with! :) When having to reschedule our original wedding date due to covid it was no issue with Kaybee and we were able to reserve our new date without any issues. My husband and I were very happy with the editing and quality of photos and videos as well. Would highly recommend.
Amazing photo team! We worked with Kirstie for our engagement photos and Amanda & Sofi for our wedding. They were all easy to work with and so sweet. Photos are perfect and the tur...

os more relaxed! They made sure to ask what ideas I had in mind for photos and explained their own ideas really well. They also were very accommodating with re-planning our wedding, which made being a 2020 bride less stressful. Kirstie got some beautiful shots for our October ceremony and we were so happy to work with her again for our big wedding in June! I will definitely be using KayBee Photos again!
Having KayBee as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We absolutely love our wedding pictures. When we started wedding planning one of the things that wa...
s important to me was having a good photographer. At the end of the day, photographs will help us remember our special day & show future children, so that was a priority for me. Kirstie was the first photographer we talked to and I immediately knew I wanted to work with her- she was so honest and easy going since our first meeting. We also were a Covid couple that ended up having a brunch wedding instead of a traditional wedding & she did such an amazing job capturing the entire event. We are so grateful! The pictures are absolutely beautiful & she captured moments that we even missed. We highly recommend working with her. Everyone has told us that our pictures are beautiful & that our photographer did an amazing job.
We used KayBee Photos for our wedding Sept 2020 and were beyond pleased with our experience with them! From the initial meeting with Sarah to gather information, communication thr...

I can’t wait to put them up all over our home!
Kirstie was the best! We highly recommend KayBee photos for your wedding needs! Kirstie was everything you want in a photographer. For each pose, she made sure we didn't look awkw...
ard, and she made sure we looked as natural as possible. She took her time to explain each pose. Kirstie was extremely personable, it felt like we had known her for years. Our pictures turned out amazing and we are truly happy with her work.
There are not enough words to express my gratitude and love for KayBee Photos! Our wedding was unconventional due to COVID, yet Sarah made me feel like the star of the day and made...
every effort to ensure we got our staple wedding photos. She took the prettiest detail shots, made herself invisible during the ceremony, and was even up for the challenge of a surprise drive-by after the ceremony! She had countless posing ideas and listened to our comments about pictures we hoped to have. My day/wedding album would not have been the same without her! I also need to commend Kristie for being so accommodating of our million plan changes leading up to the day. These two are a power duo!
